Notes

  1. Decisions made by other Swiss courts (e.g. Zurich Commercial Court) are also included in the list.

  2. Von Segesser and Truttmann (2012). Sharing this view, see also Boog and Moss (2015): ‘[I]t is a conceptual leap to …claim that the arbitral tribunal is under a legal duty to render an enforceable award.’ Wolff (2013), pp 1419–1432, para 34: ‘It is often asserted that the arbitrator is obliged to render an enforceable award. This assumption, however, is too general. No tribunal can ensure in practisethat its award will be enforceable under any and all existing enforcement regimes worldwide. …In specific cases the tribunal can even be obliged to render an award that is not even enforceable under prevailing enforcement regimes like the New York Convention’.

  3. “See, e.g. the FDC [FIFA Disciplinary Code], which provides for sanctions if its members do not comply with the decisions of the CAS, see in particular Article 10 para 4(c) and Article 13 para 1(a) of the FIFA Statutes (2012) and Article 64 of the FDC (2012).”

  4. Case C-126/97 Eco Swiss China Time Ltd v Benetton International NV [1999] ECR I-3055. Competition law being a matter of public policy was already accepted in Case C-393/92 Gemeente Almelo v NV Energiebedrijf Ijsselmij [1994] ECR I-1477, para 23. See Biagioni (2015), pp 287–288; Komninos (2011), pp 195–196; Stylopoulos (2009), p 119.

  5. Maurer (2013), p 61.

  6. Biagioni (2015), pp 284–286, 291.

  7. Van der Harst (2015).

  8. Van der Harst (2015).
